ProocamSXC67 - A Cheaper Alternative To Canon's FA-DC67A

I love it when I get a great bargain.

The official Canon filter adapter FA-DC67A for my SX530 HS costs something like RM120 here in Malaysia. No doubt, it must be of high quality and reliability. But it's a bit way off my budget.

So off I when searching for a third-party alternative at Lazada Malaysia. And this is the cheapest that I could find, and eventually bought: the Proocam SXC67 adapter. A piece of metal ring (well it felt and sounded metallic) with 67mm diameter that costs me RM34.44. It would have been around RM40, but I got it off the recent Lazada 2018 Raya sale, and hence the cheaper price. Quite sturdy and well built in my opinion.

It took me some Google searching and some effort in attaching this adapter correctly - which includes that approximately 20° turn. But it fits perfectly in the end, despite the absence of any mention of my camera model on the adapter or in the product description page. Three days was all it took for it to be delivered upon payment. Not too bad.

Here are some pictures of the attached adapter on my camera - a perfect fit:

Now, that the adapter is here, when will my clip-on close-up macro lens be arriving? I ordered them on the same day.
